Drawing on the combined experience and talent of our staff, we have found the following practices helpful in approaching plan check for private development projects. New Development Entitlements • Assist the City with development of conditions of approval, development agreements, and other requirements associated with development applications. Assist City in negotiating with developers regarding terms ofagreements orconditions. • Review tentative maps, tentative parcel maps, architectural review, and other entitlement applications. Coordinate review with other City staff and/or outside agencies as needed. • Under the "Mapping Review" scope ofwork, CSG proposes toreview Final Maps, Parcel Maps, Lot Line Adjustments, Lot Mergers, or other documents per the following: o Review for compliance with the approved Tentative Map and Conditions of Approval (maps) o Review for compliance with the California Subdivision Map Act o Review for compliance with the Professional Land Surveyor's Act • Review of closure calculations o Review oftitle information for the property, including existing easements and any other relevant land encumbrances, based oninformation contained inapreliminary title report and other documents tobefurnished byapplicant u Review of record documents (deeds and maps) of the subject and adjacent properties u Review, seal and sign final Mylar copies and certificates as Acting City Surveyor or Technical Reviewer o Preparation ofStaff Report for City Council Approval, ifrequired o Conformance with the project improvement plans and other documents o Attend follow-up meetings with Planning staff, the applicant, or others as needed to resolve issues regarding the proposal. Review subsequent submittals of the proposal. Agreement No. 5820 • Review public improvement plans. Review includes evaluation of required records, studies, grading, and additional materials submitted by design professionals. Confirm that plans conform to City standard design criteria and conditions of approval. • Each plan review will be accompanied with a letter summarizing the red -line comments addressed to the applicant's engineer or landscape architect, with a copy to City staff and the applicant. A complete red -lined set of drawings and any reports will be returned to design professionals for use in their corrections. At the applicant's discretion, the comment summary letter and red -lined plan sheets can be scanned and submitted electronically to the design consultant to expedite the review process. • The consultant will meet with the applicant/representative and City staff to review comments or to delineate the standards which are not being met, in order to facilitate timely completion of the review and meeting the maximum goal of two plan checks. CSG will accept and review subsequent submittals electronically, when feasible, in order to expedite the review process. • Soils reports will be evaluated, and recommendations will be included on the plans. Boundary conditions will be evaluated to maintain continuity with surrounding properties and maintain existing drainage patterns. • Construction erosion control and post -construction water quality control will be evaluated for compliance with the storm water quality management permit in effect for the City. • Confirm that the developer has obtained necessary permits or approvals from other public agencies as needed, and that plans conform to the City's NPDES requirements for storm water treatment and retention. • Review and recommend approval of engineering bond estimates and subdivision guarantees. • Assist the staff in preparing subdivision improvement agreements, stormwater treatment measures, landscape maintenance agreements, and preparation of staff reports for presentation to the City Council. • Meet with developers, consultants, and other agencies on behalf of city staff as requested. Plan Check Time Lines To establish schedules for completion of development review and plan review work is challenging as timing and scope of projects are not always known. The following time line could be used to forecast the advancement of the development project.
